Gloria Nilson Presents: ‘That Certain Something’ in Princeton

Je ne sais quoi? This especially pleasing six-bedroom home has that certain something that is at once stylish, sophisticated, and indefinable. The exterior elevation reflects time honored elements of French Provincial style: endowed with soft lines, hip roof, twin chimneys balanced in perfect symmetry, curved arches, Juliet balcony and stucco finish.

Effortlessly departing from its roots in the sunny hillsides of rural France and transcending time (because you never can underestimate the power of well chosen!) the interior seamlessly incorporates flexible chic design features with an open and airy floor plan. Immediately upon entering the spacious center hall foyer the eye is drawn forward and upward to the nonchalant elegance of the stylishly curved stairway. It stands as though suspended in space, it is not difficult to imagine the spectacular symmetry of a grand piano beside it.

Within each sun drenched room, from the living room, to dining room and family room to breakfast room there are nine-foot-plus walls of windows and plenty of blank canvas interior walls to showcase distinctive works of art from impressionist, to art nouveau to 20th century modern — all genres work harmoniously in this tremendous gallery of an interior.

On the second floor are sweeping views of the great outdoors and five spacious bedrooms en suite (with one presently dedicated as a home gym). There is also direct access to an over 30’ x 30’ partially sheet-rocked, fully floored storage space, and convenient laundry chute to the first floor laundry room.

The third floor houses a giant recreation room with two window seats and dual access to additional floored storage space. Critically acclaimed Herrontown Builders certainly balanced beauty and strength in the structural construction and ornamental attributes that complete this distinguished property in the exclusive enclave of Rushbrook, possibly making this their piece de resistance!
